UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ABRAHAM T. DILLEY, OF VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI, ASSIGNOR OF TVO- THIRDS TOJ OSIAH G. SKINNER AND WILLIAM E. CARPENTER, BOTH OF SAME PLACE.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,950, dated June 15,1886.

Application filed March 30, 1886.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM T. DILLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Vicksburg, in the county of Warren and State of Mississippi,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming part of this spccication, inWhich- Figure l is a perspective view of a plow with my improvementattached. Fig. 2 is a detached view of the scraper with its standard.Fig. 3 are details to be referred to.

My invention refers to that class of plows used more particularly in thecultivation of the cotton-plant; and it consists in the .constructionand combination of devices hereinafter explained and claimed.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe the exact manner in which I have carried it out.

In-the drawings, A represents a plow of any desirable form or design,and B the plowbeam. To this beam, just in front of the plow, is clampedthe standard C, in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It is evident thatwhen thus secured in position the standard is firmly held in theposition shown in Fig. 1. The strapbolt E fits snugly around the beam B,and at right angles thereto, inclosing the standard C at the angleshown. Over the ends of the strap-bolt passes the tie-plate F, which issecured rigidly in position by means of the nutsvc.

Through the standard C are two perforations, a and b, for the receptionof the screws c c', by which the scraper D is secured to the Serial No.197,144. (No model.)

standard. The perforation a is round, while the perforation b is slottedor elongated, for a purpose hereinafter explained. The scraper has alsoa round perforation, b', near its center for the reception of the screwc', which also passes through the nslotted perforation in the standardC, the slottedperforation in the standard permitting an adjustment ofthe scraper in a line with the standard. The upper edge of the scraperis provided with a series of open slots, d, for the reception of thescrew c, as shown in Figs. l and 2. These slots are all equidistaut fromthe central perforation, and it is evident that by loosening the screw cthe scraper may be turned at pleasure, so as to bring either of theslots d under the screw c.

The adjustment of the scraper is readily accomplished after unlooseningthe screws by sliding the scraper downward until it clears the upperscrew. The scraper may now be turned until the desired slot d is broughtinto alignment with said upper screw, when the scraper is forced upwardand the screws tightened up.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The scraper D, provided with the open slots d and central perforation,b', in combination with the standard G, having slot b and perforation a,the bolts c c', the beam B, and the clamp E, all constructed andarranged substantially as herein described.
